We have an option on extending Maddison's contract to 2025 without any new negotiation. No immediate rush to sell unless he wants to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moore_94 Posted 7 July 2022 Share Posted 7 July 2022 I have seen rumours about them being interested in/bidding for Milinkovic-Savic from Lazio https://www.football.london/arsenal-fc/transfer-news/youri-tielemans-arsenal-central-midfield-24429169 Arsenal ‘cooled’ their interest on Youri Tielemans earlier in the window despite confidence toward the end of the previous season that he was a key target for the summer. It was said the club were looking to focus on other targets for the time being. The understanding remains that despite potential intentions to formalise their ambitions for Tielemans in the form of a bid, this is yet to happen. This has been a frustrating saga for fans who have struggled to understand why Arsenal are not taking the plunge. An explanation was offered by Belgian football journalist Sacha Tavolieri with sources close to the player’s entourage. He told The Gooner Talk that Arsenal have a higher priority central midfield target that has so far remained out of the public eye. “It was quite a bit strange because the entourage and the player understands he was not at a certain moment the priority of Arsenal. So, they didn’t want to go for him as a priority one hundred per cent,” Tavolieri explained. Going further he added, “[Arsenal] have a target and a main target in the midfield that is not Tielemans. That is also not [Amadou] Onana. They want the player absolutely, and they want to get him. “Tielemans is seen as a good opportunity to get but in the meaning of Arsenal, they are telling ‘Okay, he has one [year] contract left, we have the time, we can go for the 10th or the 15th of August. Let’s go to our priority, if this doesn’t happen, okay we have the time to go for Tielemans. So no hurry about this.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcfc_forever Posted 7 July 2022 Share Posted 7 July 2022 You’d think the way Arsenal are playing this is raising alarm bells for Youri. Anyone would like to feel they are a priority when moving, but Arsenal are messing around here. And suggests he won’t be treated as a priority if he moves. Who wants to move somewhere when they’re publicly seen as a second best option? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would not be surprised if we've seen very little players moved on before then and therefore very few, if any signings in. I think it will be bedlam that final week of the window for us and I'm fearful we have enough resource in place to deal with it, multiple deals isn't our strong point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no hurry about this.” If any of that is even remotely true, it is amongst the worst of worst practice to attract and engage new employees. I'm calling it out as bunkum. So often we read about players having to be sold to; the vision the new club has of thier role amongst the new team, the coaching to develop thier own game; scouting reports that impress the player with insight. Like fck would a player and agent at elite level allow themselves to be a b list player ot a b list club. Bayern or Barca maybe. But perennial 6th/7th level club?

I understand the sentiment that lots of posters jabe expressed for issuing a deadline, but big business doesn't work like that. Exampke I can think of is to Imagine you have a 250k value house. And you agree with the Mrs that you won't sell if it means moving out over Xmas. Someone offers you 240k? Yep, obvs you tell the buyer to stuff it. Someone offers you 280k on the condition the gaff is empty on Xmas eve....you still tell them to stick it? We can't and won't give any deadlines. As, essentially, we are the contract holder and can make a decision that suits us when it suits us. If it doesn't suit us, we keep the player.
